Greek PS3 tragedy!

[Wiper]

Yeah, I didn't mean to quote the first bit. Sophocles > Homer anyway. They're both better than the PS3 mind you.

Meh, Euripides > Sophocles, and Heliodorus > all.

I wonder what Plato would say if they presented him a PS3 with a EUR 650 price tag on it:

"This machine does not exist. It is an idea, that's why you are paying so much..."

I imagine he'd want it banned from his ideal state, along with any other games-playing machine (and indeed films and most books) - media which can engage the player emotionally have the opportunity to be subversive, not to mention the amount of titles which glorify violence. No, he wouldn't like them one bit.

Also: impressive dealings from Sony there. It's not even as though the average wage in Greece is as high as, say, the majority of Europe's. It's sickening, really.

Wait, games are legal in Greece now?

This is not funny anymore . It was a stupid law that doesn't exist anymore.

Euripides is too much about the deus ex machina, Sophocles knows the real score.

I'm with Aristotle on this one. Who, I might add, would probably say of the PS3: "Made by barbarians? Fuck off."

Plato would be quite happy with the PS3 if it made all the chavs content with their bronze existence while he was busy perusing the Form of the PS3. It's not as if games are art!

Ah, but Euripides is so much more interesting thanks to his later works, as tragedy starts to warp with flashes of comedy - literature written during social unrest is always the most exciting (on the Roman side of things, Petronius has much the same effect, if more extreme).

All the greeks have to do is travel on the train to their neighbour country and buy a PS3 there. Then stick two finger up to Sony Greece.
